Ashley walked into the kitchen the other day, and said, "Mom, have you ever thought about how our house is like a place where other people come when they are having a hard time and need a place to be ok?"
I told her I had always dreamed that my house would be a place where people could feel loved and safe!
She walked away and within 15 minutes brought me this poem that she had written.
My House
By: Ashley Taylor
My house is a place,
where friends and family are always welcome,
and where they can go when they don't feel safe.
My house is a fun place,
where cousins, friends and me,
dance and talk and swim all day!
My house is a big place,
where family joins
and memories are made.
My house is a refuge,
from my family and friends storms,
and they will always have a place to call home when their's
has blown away.
My house is a hotel,
where people come to stay,
and they live in my room, but don't have to pay.
My house is a daycare,
where kids come to play and laugh until
the end of the day!
My house is a memory lane,
although we haven't been here for a long time,
It's a safe, big, fun place where I want to stay.
God is in my house, watching over us-
and though we go through a lot, He will care and protect us
until the end of our days!

That is very sweet! I know you are proud that she has such insight. Not all young people have that, as I'm sure you know. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving! Trisha
